Qingshan, Green Mountain, village, people …

Ye Zichen followed the Void Devouring Bug and spent a lot of effort before finally passing through a long and narrow space wormhole and entering the sealed off demon area. He then landed in a small and mysterious village.

"What a beautiful village!"

Although the teenager in front of him was no different than a human being, Ye Zichen could tell with a glance that he was different from him, since he was covered in demon blood.

His body was also a bit special. Ye Zichen could feel that his body was filled with an aura of death, which was continuously consuming his life force.

"I have no ill intentions. I just happened to pass by here by chance. Do you want to spend the night here?" Ye Chenfeng smiled and said softly.

"There is no inn in the village, there is no place for you to stay!" The teenager looked at Ye Zichen a few times and said with a hint of hostility.

"Fine, but I want to go to the village. Is that okay?" Hearing the hostility in the teenager's voice, Ye Chenfeng did not mind and asked slowly.

"That's fine, but you have to leave before nightfall!"

With that, the teenager ignored Ye Chenfeng and left.

He found out that there were too few people in the village, so he only met four people along the way. Soon, he arrived under the ancient tree, which could only be carried by ten people, and gently stroked the ancient tree's scaly, lifeless bark.

"Stop, outsiders are not allowed to touch the Divine Wood!"

Just as Ye Zichen closed his eyes and tried to sense the divine tree, an angry female voice warned him loudly.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your rules!"

Ye Chenfeng withdrew his right hand and turned around. He saw a girl wearing a simple dress with a medium build and somewhat dark skin, but with an extremely beautiful appearance, giving off a unique feeling. She stood behind him with a grass bracelet on her wrist, and explained softly.

"Qingshan Village does not welcome outsiders, please leave!" The woman in long skirt said without a trace of emotion.

"Why is that? Are they afraid that I will be infected by the deathly aura? " Ye Chenfeng smiled and said.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Ye Zichen mention the aura of death, the enmity on the woman's face grew even stronger, and she questioned him coldly.

"Don't misunderstand, I just happened to pass by and was quite interested in your village, so I wanted to stay here for a few days!" Ye Chenfeng said softly, "However, I will not stay here for nothing. I can alleviate the aura of death in your body and stop you from being tortured by it."

"It's true!"

The woman's eyes lit up, and traces of emotion were revealed on her ice-cold face.

Every time she was tormented by the aura of death, she would suffer a pain that turned into a nightmare. Every time she thought about it, her scalp would go numb, and she also had a younger brother; every time she looked at her brother's pain and helplessness, she hated herself for not being able to do anything about it.

If Ye Zichen and his sister could relieve the aura of death in their bodies and prevent them from being tortured by it, she was willing to pay any price.

"Give your hand to me. I'll help you reduce the death aura in your body. When that happens, you'll know whether or not I've lied to you!" Ye Chenfeng looked at the girl's questioning face and said softly.

"Alright!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then handed her slender right hand over to Ye Chenfeng.

After grabbing onto the slightly rough right hand of the girl, Ye Zichen immediately controlled the Death Spirit Bead to devour the lifeless qi in her body, and directed the lifeless energy from the Pearl of Life to flood into her body, restoring the body that was being consumed by the lifeless qi.

When the force of life entered her body, the woman felt an indescribable sense of comfort as all the pores in her body began to open up.

Sensing that the death aura in her body was decreasing, the woman completely believed Ye Chenfeng's words, and the way she looked at him underwent a subtle change.

"Now do you believe me?"

Ye Zichen let go of the girl's right hand gently as he watched the hostility on her face lessen.

"Are you really just passing by?" The girl stared at Ye Chenfeng and questioned.

"En, I just happened to pass by, and I'm really interested in your village!" Ye Chenfeng nodded.

"It's going to be dark soon. You can go and stay at my house. I hope you can help my little brother relieve the death aura in his body and prevent him from being tortured by it again!" The girl noticed that Ye Chenfeng's eyes were extremely clear, so she believed his words and said softly.

"No problem!"

With that, Ye Chenfeng followed behind the girl and arrived at the second floor of a bamboo tower that was made of a large amount of bamboo and wood that was located at the east side of the village.

"Why is it you? Why did you come to my house?"

When the teenager Ye Chenfeng met at the village entrance saw Ye Chenfeng come to his house, the hostility on his face grew even stronger, and he shouted loudly.

"Zi Fan, I asked him to come!" The woman explained softly.

"Sis, did you get cheated by him? I don't think he's a good person!" Qiu Zifan took out a weapon and looked at Ye Zichen warily, then said loudly.

"Zi Fan, he's not a swindler. He can dispel the death aura in our bodies!" Qiu Ling shook her head, "Alright, put down your weapons. Bring the food over, let's eat."

"But Sis …"

"There's no 'but'! Hurry up and bring the food over!" Qiu Ling ordered.

"Alright!"

Qiu Zifan glanced at Ye Zichen a few more times, then obediently went to carry the food.

Qingshan Village relied on the mountains for food. The conditions were simple and the food was mostly made of mountain treasure, which was very light. However, when Ye Chenfeng ate it, it was completely different.

During dinner, Ye Chenfeng chatted with Qiu Ling and her sister. He briefly understood Qingshan Village from the side door and knew that this village had a long history.

However, due to the death aura, the lifespan of the villagers was not long. Therefore, no one knew the history of Qingshan Village, not to mention the fact that they had inherited the demonic bloodline.

"Why didn't you leave? Must it be corroded by the death aura? " Ye Chenfeng asked in confusion.

"The aura of death in our bodies is not caused by external forces, but it will be produced when we are born. As we age, the aura of death will become denser and denser!" Qiu Ling explained as she nibbled on rice.

"Inborn!" Ye Zichen frowned slightly and chanted in his heart, "What secrets are hidden in this little mountain village and the other villagers? They actually had an aura of death inside them right after they were born."

Just as Ye Zichen was thinking about that, Qiu Zifan's body suddenly shuddered, while a large amount of aura of death surged onto his young face.

Unknowingly, the deathly aura within his body began to erupt, causing him to be in so much pain that he began to roll on the ground.
